**** To work collectively as a Muslim community to put a "human face" to Islam and Muslims that is respected, understood, and invited into mainstream American society, reflecting the positive teachings and understandings of Islam, such as strong communities, respect for one another and community partnerships.
**** To create avenues for participation in interfaith and multicultural outreach, thus encouraging people to think of alternative ways to discuss faith/religion built on respect, tolerance and mutual collaboration.
